This time next week, I'll be in Indy, and one of my favorite events each year is the Tribbles World Championship. This year, Tribbles Worlds takes place on Sunday afternoon and will be two rounds. We'll divide up all the players into some number of approximately equal tables, and they'll play a round. Players will then be reseated, with all the winners/wild cards together, to vie for the title in a second round of play.

As of right now, there are twenty-four (24) Tribbles players pre-registered, including a previous World Champion and two (2) previous North American Continental Champions. Our pre-registered players include three of the top 10 Tribble breeders in the world, and have bred a total of 483,642,529 - that's almost half a billion Tribbles!

For fun, I've attached a poll to see which deck archtypes will have the best chance of winning this year's event. Will it be a Bonus deck? A lightning-fast Discard deck? A top-heavy Battle deck? Or something else? Sound off and let us know! What else do you think will be played? Is there a clear favorite player in this event? Those of you planning on attending, what will you be thinking about as you prepare?

I'm eager to read your thoughts and opinions. Start sharing!

MvB will win with a random mash-up of cards.

Richard wins it.

And you will have to errata another card.

Someone gets lucky and scores 700,000 Qapla points in the final.

Before I get another dark horse pick that makes me sad, I am bummed I have to leave AM Sunday and can't get my Tribbles on.

Rescue/Go/Replay, like he normally does.

I think that Utilize will take it all.

Charlie, I can't give all my secrets away directly on the boards.

Maggie is only partially right. Those powers would appear in my deck, although I know she is thinking about the deck that is focused on going out and not the deck I would play in a higher level tournament. And yes, I think point scoring cards like Utilize will most likely be in the winning deck at Gen Con.

You were half right. I think Johannes was playing Dan's rainbow deck.

Looking at the deck, it has Go as the dominant power (19% / 11 cards), next are Poison and Copy (5 cards each), Tally (4), and 15 other powers. The deck was billed as "IDIC" in Dan's box, I made only a few adjustments (e.g., I wanted to have 1,000 Discard in there instead of another Freeze).
